The Yolo Mail, referring to the RECORD
UNIONS Endorsement OF the proposition for
the purchase of Suffers Fort as a location
for the proposed Home for the wives,
widows and mothers of soldiers and sail
ors, says: " 1t is said that the plat, includ-
ing the old fort, will cost but Sc, 500. 1t is
to be hoped that the citizens of Sacramento
will secure this early landmark of our
State. No more praiseworthy object could
be served than the erection of the Home ON
this historic ground"
Ex-Sheriff Daniels, of Butte county, was
in the city yesterday, engaged in a search
for Hong Di, the st. John murderer, who
may have come to Sacramento, or may be
making his way in this direction. Other
parties who have been paying attention to
this case are of the opinion that Di is max
ing his escape in an altogether different
direction, and that the coming to Sacra-
mento of DIS brother and uncle is only a
blind, to attract attention this way. This
would scarcely be a safe place for the mur-
derer to come to, for there are several of
his countrymen on sufficiently good terms
with the police to give him array"
